The great-grandfather of Zhang Butcher is the famous "Zhang DaDa" in the village. "Zhang DaDa" seems to have been very interested in dead people since he was a child - no matter whether it is in his own village or a neighboring village, he almost never goes to mourning whenever there is a funeral, like

It's as addictive as watching a movie.

When watching funerals, others may be joining in the fun, but what he wants to see is the dead person. He often even pretends to be a relative or friend of the deceased, taking the opportunity to express his condolences, and goes to the mourning hall to see the body on the coffin up close. For some reason, every time he sees it,

Whenever he sees a dead body, he feels inexplicably excited and satisfied.

What's even more morbid is that if he doesn't see a dead person for a long time, he will be upset and restless. He himself felt that this was very abnormal, so he spent almost two days trekking more than 80 miles

On the mountain road, I went to find a blind man who told fortunes. This blind man was very famous for fortune telling within a few hundred miles around. Not only ordinary people came to him in an endless stream, but many dignitaries often came to him to ask for fortune telling. It was said that this blind man

It's really good. Whether you are an official, a powerful person, or an ordinary citizen, he will treat you equally, and he will never favor one over the other, and he is not snobbish at all.

Where did this blind man come from? No one knew, no one knew him, and no one knew his true origin. But one year, a blind man suddenly came to this area. According to the blind man himself, his ancestral home was here.

, but it’s been a long time since they moved away, and no one knows they have this branch anymore.

When Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather arrived at the blind man's house, it was already time to turn on the lamp, and it was raining heavily outside. The blind man did not touch his bones, nor asked him his birth date, nor asked him to draw lots, but it was very strange.

, sniffed Mr. Butcher Zhang with his nose and said, "Do you particularly like to see dead bodies?"

Straight to the point, one sentence hits the point, which is completely different from other fortune tellers who talk nonsense and misunderstandings. Butcher Zhang’s grandfather was completely shocked! He was speechless for a long time, and just looked at the blind man in shock.

The cloudy eyes were in a daze, but he noticed that there was a strange shadow in one of the blind man's eyes, which looked very awkward and uncomfortable.

After a long time, Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Sir, you are really a god. What you said is absolutely right. I came all the way here just to ask you what is going on."

There was no expression on the blind man's face, and he just said coldly: "Your yang energy is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but there are many types of yang energy, all different. Some people with excessive yang energy can be cured by the feminine energy of a woman."

It can be reconciled, but your yang energy is pure yang energy, which can only be balanced by the gloomy energy of the dead. People with strong pure yang energy are either generals or executioners. Although you have the talent of a general,

But if you are born at the wrong time, you may have to become an executioner. If you choose another profession, you may not be able to balance your yang energy and you will not end up well."

After the fortune telling, the great-grandfather of the Zhang family no longer struggled. He just sighed: "Well, maybe this is fate." When he returned to the village, he still had to decide how to live his life.

But the bizarre incident that changed his fate happened soon after.

It was summer. A landowner in the village planted a large area of ​​watermelons. To prevent others from stealing the melons, the landowner hired people to watch the melons at night - that is, they had to sleep in a melon shed set up in the melon field at night.

But for some reason, there were several melon watchers in a row, but they all quit after a few days. Later, word slowly spread that it turned out that the melon field was haunted.

What kind of haunting method is this? According to several melon watchers, they sleep with their heads facing north, but whenever they wake up, they will definitely find that their heads are facing south. At first, the melon watchers thought this was nothing.

It was when I got up at night that I turned it around, but I forgot about it. But if such strange things happen every day, people will inevitably feel frightened.

One of the melon watchers, in order to find out what was going on - did he turn around and fall asleep at night without realizing it, or was there really something weird - before he went to bed, he had someone tie him to the bed with his head facing north, thinking,

When he woke up this time, he must have had his head facing north. As a result, when he woke up the next day, his head was facing south, and the rope on his body had not changed at all. This is really weird!

Later, the three melon watchers decided to sleep together in the melon shed all night to see what was going on. The three of them lay in the melon shed with their heads pointing north, and agreed that they would pretend to be asleep and see what was going on.

What happened at night.

The three people were lying in the melon shed with their heads facing north. Although it was very hot and crowded, they all said nothing and pretended to be asleep. They stayed up until midnight like this, but there was nothing unusual at all. Their heads were still facing north. In order to

Afraid of falling asleep unknowingly, the three of them secretly pinched each other with their fingers from time to time to remind each other not to fall asleep.

But near dawn, the first cockcrow could be heard faintly from the village. If they persisted for a while, it would be dawn. Suddenly, the three of them felt a comfortable cool breeze blowing through them. After a sweltering night, they were sweating profusely.

, I felt very comfortable all over. Although everyone reminded themselves repeatedly in their hearts: Don't sleep! But they still fell asleep unconsciously - to be precise, they just took a nap. When they opened their eyes,

When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that the three of him were already facing south!

From then on, no one dared to stay overnight in the melon shed to look at the melons. Later, the landlord tripled the wages, but no one dared to go.

Coincidentally, when Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather heard about this, he was very excited and hurriedly went to the landlord to apply for the job. That night, he hugged his mat and went to the melon shed. Everyone in the village talked about this.

Only "Zhang Bold" dared to do so.

On the first night, Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather didn't feel scared at all. He went to the melon shed and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already broad daylight, but just like the previous melon watchers - he had a headache while sleeping.

Facing north, my head was facing south when I woke up.

Butcher Zhang's great-grandfather also thought this was too weird, so on the second night, he decided to stay up all night to see what happened during the night.

In order to prevent himself from falling asleep, he also took some measures - he went to the village doctor and asked for some peppermint ointment, so that when he felt sleepy, he could apply it on his eyelids, which should be very refreshing.

In case the peppermint ointment alone would not work, he also prepared a handful of very spicy "Chaotian peppers". When he couldn't stand the sleepiness anymore, he would stuff the peppers into his mouth to stimulate. After everything was ready, he

Feeling a little excited, I lay down in the melon shed and pretended to sleep.

The first half of the night was okay, but the second half of the night was the most difficult, as it was easy to fall asleep unknowingly. Zhang Butcher’s great-grandfather was indeed a very perseverant person. In the second half of the night, despite waves of unbearable sleepiness, he could not sleep.

I got through it without falling asleep or even taking a nap.

Near dawn, the very comfortable and pleasant cool breeze appeared again. Zhang Butcher's great-grandfather felt that his consciousness was slowly becoming blurred. He quickly stuffed a handful of chili peppers into his mouth, and then put it in his mouth.

Applying mint ointment to his eyelids, it really worked. Under the double stimulation, his sleepiness immediately disappeared without a trace. But he still lay in the melon shed, motionless and pretending to sleep.

At this time, thunder rumbled outside, and soon there was a downpour. The sound of thunder, rain, and lightning made Grandpa Zhang Butcher become more clear-headed. Suddenly, he felt as if something was coming.

Slowly walking towards the head of his bed, he squinted and took a peek, and saw a dark figure. With the help of lightning, he could see that figure, covered with a black cloak, and it seemed that he was walking with his back to him.

Come here - because facing Grandpa Zhang butcher is a man with a big braid on the back of his head. Grandpa Zhang Butcher still thinks it’s quite strange: Why is this man walking over backwards? Is he afraid that I will see his face?

As the man slowly approached, Zhang Butcher's great-grandfather also became very nervous. He suddenly turned over and got up. He held a watermelon knife with one hand and patted the man on the shoulder with the other hand and said: "Turn your head."

Come on, let me see who you are and why you come out at night to scare people."

The man seemed very calm and did not react violently. He just turned his head slowly. But when the man turned his head completely, Zhang Butcher's great-grandfather was so frightened that he almost peed in his pants - maybe this was
Chapter completed!
